I have A Geforce FX Go5200 that uses the "nv" driver I had no problems with installing this card on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop , but after I did update it won't go into X .
It should use nouveau, not nv. Remove the xorg.conf file that specifies nv, and try again. It should auto-detect all relevant settings and load with the nouveau driver.
I did as you said, removing xorg.conf and rebooted but it still selected "nv" .
Um. How do you know? How are you checking what driver is in use?
I went into system-config-display and selected "nouveau" but it only allows me a resolution of 640x480 I want to setup at 1024x768 .
I edited xorg.conf and put in a line Modes "1024x768" but when I reboot it takes that line out.
Don't use system-config-display. It's entirely deprecated, especially for RandR 1.2-based drivers. Please remove xorg.conf entirely, don't run system-config-display at all, and tell us what happens when you boot up.
Well I updated and got a new kernel-2.6.31-2.fc12.i686, rebooted new kernel w/o xorg.conf and got no X , below attachment /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
I tryed also to reboot old kernel-2.6.31-0.204 and got a error message just before starting X , "Cannot open Theme file /usr/share/Kde4/apps/kdm/themes/Constantine".
